tunes remote not pairing

**NoPenguinNoMayo** · 09-01-2009, 01:12 AM

Thats so odd, I tried it before posting here. No luck what so ever, and just now tried it again, and it worked just fine?.... Im not sure what happened in between, i know i shut off the phone, restarted the computer. Now that i think about it i also refreshed my airport extreme today too though. hmm

Too bad the time i needed it the most was my saturday preseason football party. oh well. Thanks so much for the fix!!!

If you experiencing something like the above, I might have the solution for you. The problem is, you're probably not using the correct IP address.

I used the following link to find out what my internal IP address was:

The article is not entirely up-to-date, but it shows you in general terms where you can find your internal IP in the system preferences of your Mac.

In short: "System Preferences" -> "Network" -> "Advanced" for Airport -> "TCP/IP"

There you have it: internal IP = IPv4-address

Hope it helps.

hey, For anyone still having a problem. my phone would not connect untill i had sync'd my ipod. im not sure whether it was because i had never plugged in my ipod since i installed itunes on this pc but either way, once i had sync'd i got a devices list on the left of itunes and then my andoid device appeared in that list above my ipod.
it would seem that maybe a lack of a device list in the left side stops you from ever seeing the android remote
hope that helps.

Is anyone using this with the latest iTunes (8.2.1.6)? I can see that itunes.exe picks up the TCP connection from my phone, but it doesn't list it under devices. Quite frustrating

I've spent the last 8 days trying to get this to work, and I finally have it working, this is WHAT WORKED FOR ME:

I had set my computer to have a static IP address (I set the IP myself), and for whatever reason that was causing problems. I set it to automatically configure the IP address and now the TunesRemote works just as it should.

Hope this helps all of you static IP'ers who have been having the same problem as I have.

old thread - bringing it back

but, i think i "might" have something to add for someone looking to get TunesRemote to work but nothing said previously here is working for them

i had gotten TR to work a few months ago - but was having trouble getting it to work again

basically i had to reset the settings on both iTunes and my Hero

in TR click menu and "forget settings" at that opening screen where the spinning circle is saying that its searching for libraries

in iTunes, you have to go to Edit - Preferences - Sharing, then UNCHECK share libraries ---- for good measure i also clicked the "Devices" tab and clicked "forget all remotes" (NOT entirely sure that step was necessary but i tried a LOT of things including that - so... might work for you too)

anyway.. workin like a champ now

hope that helps somoene down the road some day!
